Just installed Exim - how to I get local/system mail?
Yesterday I decided to replace Sendmail with Exim. I used apt-get to
download and install it, and soon got it up and working. The *only*
thing which appears not to work is the mail I used to get from, for
example, cron when a cron job in /etc/crontab executed overnight. When I
used sendmail, I used to get a message telling me what had happened. Now
I get nothing.
In /etc/exim.conf I have set 'local_domains = localhost'. I have set
gmx.net *not* to be a local domain, because it is not unique and many
share it. My hostname is scgf. Should I set scgf.gmx.net (the fully
qualified domain of my machine) as a local domain? That will be unique
to me.
Many thanks. Sorry if I have not given enough info. You can probably
tell more from my headers than I can give!
